WalkAide® For Treatment of Foot Drop  Dynamic FES for Neuro RehabilitationThe WalkAide® System is an advanced Functional Electrical (FES) Stimulation System for the treatment of Foot Drop caused by upper motor neuron injury such as:• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)• Stroke (CVA)• Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury• Cerebral Palsy (CP)• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)Utilizing a tilt sensor and accelerometer technology, the WalkAide stimulates the common peroneal nerve to lift the foot at the right time during the gait cycle, prompting a more natural, efficient, and safe walking pattern. WalkAide users have the freedom to walk with or without footwear, up and down the stairs, and all directions.Effective from Acute to Post-Rehab CareUsing the WalkAide in all stages of neuro rehabilitation provides the therapist a valuable tool to promote optimal patient outcomes.• Improve walking speed with less fatigue• Improve gait quality• Reduce atrophy• Improve circulation, muscle condition, and bone density• Promote NeuroplasticityOptions for Rehab UseTilt Mode• Gait Training: Maximize patient handling while increasing sensorimotor input• Swing: Enhance motor learning through repeated, forced use during open chain activities (swing)• Random Practice: Improve gait on all surfaces and generalize to varying environments• Biofeedback: Use audible feedback during stimulation to promote tibial translationHand Mode• Pre-Gait Skills: Practice weight shifting to improve transition between extensor and flexor tone• Blocked Practice: Use controlled stepping and swing initiation in early gait training• Gait Training: Manage dorsiflexion for safe steps during ambulation• Exercise and Gait: Vary durations of stimulation to assist, challenge and progress activitiesHeel Mode• Functional Activities: Cue forward weight shifting in sitting and assist with sit-to-stand transfers• Pre-Gait Skills: Teach controlled weight shifting side-to-side and with stepping forward and back• Early Gait Training: Walk in parallel bars or for short distances to improve motor controlExercise Mode• Bedside Therapy: Enhance movement, circulation, strength, etc.• Rehab and Home Exercise: Build muscle strength and endurance, increase ROM, normalize tone, etc.• Neuromuscular Re-education: Promote learning via sensory feedback from consistent, repetitive and functional movement WalkAnalyst 5.1.0The WalkAnalyst 5.1.0 combines powerful analytical features with intuitive programming to help make WalkAide fitting and programming easy and efficient for you and your patients.
